Sankra Casino - La cuenta del jugador ha sido cerrada.

Hi, after winning on the Hacksaw and Pragmatic slots, I requested a withdrawal of €800 and the casino asked for my documents on May 1st. I uploaded the requested documents that same day.

Today, May 5th, my account was suddenly blocked and I can no longer access it.

I request the casino to pay my total remaining balance of €2,400.

Salve, dopo aver fatto delle vincite alle slot hacksaw e pragmatic, ho richiesto un prelievo da 800 euro e il casino mi ha chiesto i documenti il giorno 1 Maggio. Il giorno stesso ho caricato i documenti richiesti.

Oggi, 5 Maggio, il conto è stato improvvisamente bloccato e non posso più accedere.

Richiedo al casino il pagamento del mio saldo residuo totale pari a 2400 euro.

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

• Can you confirm which verification documents you uploaded on May 1st?
• Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus?
• Have you previously encountered any issues with your account or withdrawals?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Hi Petra,

• I uploaded my ID and proof of residence, as required by the casino
• I accumulated most of my winnings without bonuses
• It was my first time taking Sankra, but I hadn't had any problems before.

Ciao Petra,

• ho caricato il documento d'identità e la prova di residenza, come richiesto dal casino
• ho accumulato la maggior parte delle vincite senza bonus
• era la prima volta che prelevavo da sankra, ma prima d'ora non avevo avuto nessun problema

Dear Petra,

Thank you for reaching out and for the opportunity to provide our position on this complaint.

We have completed a thorough review of the player's account. Following an investigation by our Risk and Compliance team, it was determined that the account was in breach of our Terms and Conditions. Specifically, the investigation identified activity consistent with coordinated bonus abuse, including repeated abnormal Free Spin conversions in violation of our bonus and fair play policies.

In accordance with our Terms and Conditions, the following actions were taken:

- All pending withdrawal requests were cancelled

- Winnings obtained through bonus abuse were confiscated

- The account was permanently closed

These measures are applied consistently to all accounts found to be in breach of our bonus and fraud policies. The decision was made following a formal Risk and Compliance review and is final. We are not in a position to reverse this decision or release the funds in question.

We are unable to provide supporting documentation in this instance, as doing so would require the disclosure of sensitive information relating to third parties involved in the investigation, which we are not permitted to share.

We consider our position on this matter to be clear and fully supported by our Terms and Conditions. We remain available should you require any further clarification.

Best regards,

Sankra Support Team

Dear Sankra Casino,

Thanks for the reply.

I acknowledge your position regarding the alleged violations related to bonuses and free spins. However, I would like to clarify that my request does not necessarily concern the winnings generated by the contested bonuses, but rather the return of my deposits made with real funds.

I understand that the casino may impose restrictions or confiscate any winnings from promotions in the event of a violation of the Terms and Conditions. However, withholding all deposited funds from the player seems disproportionate, especially in the absence of shared concrete evidence or a detailed explanation of the alleged violations.

I therefore kindly request that the casino at least reevaluate the refund of the balance from my net deposits, excluding any promotional winnings that are the subject of the dispute.

I remain available to collaborate and provide any additional clarifications.

Gentile casino Sankra,

Grazie per la risposta.

Prendo atto della vostra posizione riguardo alle presunte violazioni legate ai bonus e ai giri gratuiti. Tuttavia, desidero precisare che la mia richiesta non riguarda necessariamente le vincite generate dai bonus contestati, bensì almeno la restituzione dei miei depositi effettuati con fondi reali.

Capisco che il casinò possa applicare restrizioni o confiscare eventuali vincite derivanti da promozioni in caso di violazione dei Termini e Condizioni. Tuttavia, trattenere integralmente anche i fondi depositati dal giocatore appare una misura sproporzionata, soprattutto in assenza di prove concrete condivise o di una spiegazione dettagliata delle presunte violazioni.

Chiedo quindi cortesemente che il casinò rivaluti almeno la restituzione del saldo proveniente dai miei depositi netti, escludendo eventuali vincite promozionali oggetto della contestazione.

Resto disponibile a collaborare e a fornire eventuali chiarimenti aggiuntivi.

Thank you both for your replies and for providing the previous details, Spaffle.

Dear Spaffle could you provide any additional evidence/communication you had with the casino? This can include screenshots, emails, or chat records. You can send me all the documents to: petra.h@casino.guru or post your screenshots to the thread.

Thank you again for your cooperation.

Unfortunately, the casino hasn't responded to me privately. They've simply written the same things they wrote here, and they're showing no willingness to cooperate in refunding my balance at this time.

I've attached a screenshot of my balance and pending withdrawals below (unfortunately, I can't access my account, so I don't have a screenshot of my deposits):

I hope you can help me recover my full balance, or at least my deposits. These aren't from winnings from bonuses and free spins, but from money I deposited myself, and I don't think it's fair that they won't be returned to me.

Il casino non mi ha dato altre risposte in privato purtroppo, si è limitato a scrivere le stesse cose che ha scritto qua e non mostra la volontà di collaborare nel restituire il mio saldo, al momento.

Allego qua sotto lo screenshot del mio saldo e dei prelievi in pending (purtroppo non posso accedere al conto e quindi non ho lo screenshot dei miei depositi):

Spero possiate aiutarmi a recuperare il mio saldo per intero o almeno i miei depositi, che non vengono dalle vincite dai bonus e giri gratuiti ma sono soldi che ho depositato di tasca mia e non mi sembra giusto che non mi vengano restituiti.

Dear player,

My name is Mirka, and I will be assisting you in solving this case. Now I would like to invite Sankra Casino representative to join this conversation.

Dear Sankra Casino,

Could you please provide clarification regarding this case? Please include specific behavior with supporting evidence.

Thank you in advance.

Dear Mirka,

Thank you for your message and for giving us the opportunity to further clarify our position regarding this complaint.

Following a thorough investigation conducted by our Risk and Compliance team, it was determined that the player's account displayed activity consistent with coordinated bonus abuse, specifically involving repeated abnormal Free Spin conversions. This constitutes a direct violation of our Terms and Conditions

• Section 7.19 – It is strictly prohibited to engage in any promotion abuse. This includes, but is not limited to, minimum risk strategies, structured betting behaviour intended to manipulate wagering requirements, moving between high-risk and low-risk betting patterns after large wins for the purpose of clearing wagering requirements, two-tier betting, and playing games with an active bonus to build up value, converting the bonus and then cashing out the accumulated value afterwards.

for example playing games with an active bonus to build up value, converting the bonus and then cashing out the accumulated value afterwards. By starting and delaying a game round, bonus feature, and completing this after meeting bonus wagering requirements, losing a bonus or with a subsequent deposit.

• Section 7.20 – Engaging in promotion abuse, fraud, or manipulation is a breach of our Terms, entitling us to void all promotions participated in and confiscate all winnings derived therefrom.

• Section 9.1 – The Website may only be used for personal entertainment purposes. The player's activity was found to involve unfair betting patterns and strategies, including structured betting behaviour inconsistent with normal recreational play, designed to manipulate gameplay dynamics and promotional conditions. This constitutes a material breach of our General Terms and Conditions.

• Section 9.3 – Following our gameplay review, the activity was deemed abusive, giving us the right to revoke promotion entitlements, void winnings, and close the account.

• Section 9.4 – Upon reasonable suspicion of improper activity or breach of Terms, we reserve the right — at our sole discretion — to block the account, cancel pending withdrawals, void winnings, and confiscate the real money balance.

All actions taken against this account — including the cancellation of pending withdrawals, confiscation of the balance, and permanent closure — are fully supported by the above Terms and Conditions, which the player agreed to upon registration.

Regarding the player's request for a refund of deposited funds: as outlined in Section 9.4, in cases of confirmed abuse, we are entitled to confiscate the real money balance of the account. The player's deposits and resulting balance cannot be separated from the abusive activity conducted, and therefore no refund will be issued.

This pattern of behavior is a well-known bonus abuse method and was repeatedly identified throughout the player's activity on the account. Such conduct falls directly within the prohibited practices outlined under Section 7.19 concerning promotion abuse and unfair wagering strategies.

We have screenshot on hand that directly evidence the bonus abusive behaviour detected on this account and are happy to share them with Casino Guru internally.

We consider our position to be fully justified and in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. The decision is final and will not be reversed.

We remain available should you require any further clarification.

Best regards,

Sankra Support Team

I consider the bonus and the balance resulting from my deposits to be two separate matters. I understand that if the bonus has been used in a manner inconsistent with the casino's terms and conditions, you may decide to revoke the bonus and any associated winnings.

However, regarding the actual balance from my personal deposits, I kindly request a refund of the €800 I deposited, so that we can resolve this matter peacefully and fairly for both parties.

Ritengo che il bonus e il saldo derivante dai miei depositi siano due aspetti distinti. Comprendo che, qualora il bonus fosse stato utilizzato in modo non conforme ai termini e condizioni del casinò, possiate decidere di revocare il bonus stesso e le eventuali vincite ad esso collegate.

Tuttavia, per quanto riguarda il saldo reale proveniente dai miei depositi personali, chiedo cortesemente il rimborso degli 800 euro da me depositati, così da poter chiudere la questione in modo pacifico e corretto per entrambe le parti.

Dear Sankra Casino,

I sent you an email with request for further evidence. Please check your inbox and provide the requested evidence at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.
